About the Fertility Blood Test – IVF Clinic A
We work with a number of fertility and IVF clinics across the UK, and internationally. As each clinic / centre have their own requirements of blood markers required prior to/ during the IVF process, we have created a bespoke profile that covers the major hormones and blood markers required for this.
If your clinic requires any further specific blood markers please get in touch.
Why choose us for your Fertility Blood Test – IVF Clinic A
Biomarkers explained
What each biomarker in this test measures. Open any one for detail.
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
FSH is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. This hormone is essential for producing eggs in women and producing sperm in men. In women, FSH levels peak at ovulation and can increase in menopause.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
Luteinizing Hormone is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. It plays an essential role in male and female fertility. In women, levels of LH peak before ovulation.
Oestradiol
Oestradiol is the primary female sex hormone, but it is also an essential hormone for men. It is a type of hormone called an oestrogen that supports a healthy reproductive system and healthy breast tissue and bones.
Prolactin
Prolactin is a hormone which is produced in the pituitary gland and plays a role in reproductive health. Its primary purpose is to stimulate milk production after childbirth, and in pregnant and breastfeeding women prolactin levels can soar.
Antimullerian Hormone – AMH
Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is a hormone secreted by cells in developing egg sacs (follicles). The level of AMH in a woman’s blood is generally a good indicator of her ovarian reserve.
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is produced in the pituitary gland in order to regulate the production of thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) by the thyroid gland. If thyroid hormones in the blood are low, then more TSH is produced to stimulate the thyroid gland to produce more of them. If thyroid hormone levels are high, then the pituitary produces less TSH to slow the production of thyroid hormones.
If TSH is too high or too low, it normally signifies that there is a problem with the thyroid gland which is causing it to under or over produce thyroid hormones. Sometimes a disorder of the pituitary gland can also cause abnormal TSH levels.
Free T4
Thyroxine (T4) is one of two hormones produced by the thyroid gland. It works to speed up the rate of your metabolism. Most T4 is bound to carrier proteins in the blood – it is only the free, or unbound, T4 that is active in the body. Free T4 is the less active of the two main thyroid hormones. To have an impact on your cells it needs to convert to the more active T3 when your body needs it.
HIV 1 & 2 Antigen – HIV Ag
This test looks for the presence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) 1 and 2 antibodies. This virus protein is detectable in the blood before antibodies are made to the HIV particle, meaning it allows for earlier detection of HIV if present.
Hepatitis B Surface Antigen – HBsAg
The hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is a protein on the surface of the hepatitis B virus, present in the blood during a hepatitis B virus infection. Checking for this surface antigen helps to identify acute and chronic HBV infections. Positive surface antigen means the virus is present and is infectious.
Hepatitis C Antibodies – HCV Ab/anti-HCV
Hepatitis C antibodies are produced by the body in response to exposure to the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Testing for these antibodies in the blood helps to identify a hepatitis C infection.
Syphilis – VDRL IgG/IgM
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum, spread through sexual contact. Which is important to test for and treat as the infection can cause a range of health problems if left untreated. Antibodies are produced by the immune system when there is an infection in the body. Checking for syphilis specific antibodies in the body helps to identify an infection.
How to prepare
Follow these steps so your results are accurate. If you are unsure about preparation, please contact us before your appointment.
Wear loose clothing
- The blood test requires access to your arm, therefore, it is recommended to wear loose clothing to facilitate this process.
This test is performed ideally on day 2/3 of your cycle.
What does the Fertility Blood Test – IVF Clinic A involve?
This blood test is just like a standard blood test.
You will be asked to uncover your left or right arm and a suitable vein is found. A tourniquet will be placed and tightened around your upper arm, allowing the veins to swell, and a needle will be placed into your vein. A small quantity of blood is then drawn into tubes. Once the procedure is complete a small plaster will be placed onto the site, which can be removed after a few hours.
Right after
A small plaster goes on, and you can carry on with your day.
Within 1-2 Days
Your results come back from the laboratory.
Understanding your results
Blood results need interpretation, so we recommend you go through them with your GP or healthcare professional.
